It looks like a common scarecrow with bamboo frame. The scarecrow is up for 2 minutes. Screenshot submitted.

Currently on the beta has absolutely no in-game utility of any description, besides taking up bag space.

It would be nice if it actually scared away some critters under your wiggling crop or the eagles that come for your appetizing crops, alas, it doesn't ... yet

I have just bought and used my Pandaren Scarecrow and a "Cocky Crow" flew in and landed on it. When I select him the text is the same colour as if a companion, though if he'll ever fly away time will tell.

Edit: The scarecrow is now gone, wasn't even up for very long, a few minutes at most. Though the item is still in my bag on cooldown i can use it again. I wonder if it'll reduce the chance that your crops get that alluring effect?

This item seems to put any banners you might own on cooldown (such as the argent tournament ones). Of course, this doesnt affect the guild banners.

Unfortunately it only lasts 3 minutes but has a 5 minute cooldown. That is dumb and out of line in comparison to the other banners.

Seems to summon a "cocky crow" whenever he's placed down that sits on it until it despawns.

Your post made me smile but probably half, if not more of WoW players might not get it. Great old song. =)

Another useless gold scam from Blizzard.

Comment by Kwestioned

So I dont know if its just coincidence BUT when i click it right before planting is seemed to keep the birds away for the duration of the scarecrow while planting still had the annoying rodents though.

Total Garbage!

Before I use my gold for this, can someone tell me if it works outside of Pandaria? Thank you, in advance EDIT: Tested and true it does work anywhere and still no usefull effect.

Name it Fiddlesticks and give it a sickle and I'll buy it.

Comment by neonjohn

They could have made this a pet...then I'd buy it. Otherwise, just a waste of space.

You would be better off just planting the blossom seeds and popping them up in town after harvesting them. They are very pretty, last just as long and get much more attention =) Oh, Not to mention they cost less...

Comment by Frassysass

This item is best used as a 'calling card' for gankers.

On my server, I am known only as 'The Scarecrow'

People get ganked while doing dailies and minding their own business, and all that remains when the dust settles is their corpse and an ominous Pandaren Scarecrow.

Comment by Mightyena

The item does not dissapear when used.

You know you've been there - you kill a monster near a cliff, and the body sits halfway down where you can't get it without falling off, and you can't reach it from below. And of course you're not an engineer, and you're not a hunter, and there's nothing else nearby you can pull and kill for area loot. So that sparkle will just lie there, tantalizing you, until it fades out. You just know that monster dropped something important... but you'll never know.

But wait! What's that in your bag? It's... a Pandaren Scarecrow! You whip that sucker out, plant it on the side of the cliff just below the corpse, then confidently drop onto its head from above. You proudly raise your fist at the game design gods as you loot the unlootable corpse. Congratulations! You're 12 silver and 47 copper closer to paying for it... but it's not about the money. It's not about the loot at all... it's about the principle.

If the principle doesn't seem worth the bagspace, don't buy it.

edit: see comments, this humorous idea is tragically ineffective.

Having paid for this item with high expectations of at least a few less "bird" type issues I must say I was MORE than highly disappointed in the results.... This "unique" and "Rare" item does in fact work to remove you from your gold...nothing more... what so ever... I am now starting a petition to be reimbursed for MY LIFE that was not only stolen by using this junk item but the time spent obtaining the gold in which it was purchased with.... having said that if I could burn this item for the Halloween event I may have kept it just for that..but I couldn't even sell the dam thing to recoup even 1 copper....EVEN the NPC that sold it to me doesn't want it back....now that says something. In closing "Whomever thought of this item should be beaten with all manner of dull items, drawn and quartered, then subsequently FIRED Oh and their childern should be given a computer image of this very same thing with no purpose and be told that it is their parent.

This item is useless, but causes Cocky Crow Cocky Crow to appear and stand on one arm.

Comment by DoINeedAName

I keep reading about this being a worthless vanity item. Perhaps it is, but maybe there is an undiscovered intended use for it. Maybe if you plant it near a plot just before you plant a seed, that plant won't turn out to be alluring the following day when it's ready to be harvested. It would take many trials to really know for sure, with and without to compare.

Comment by harleyquinn4eva

Y'know what's most annoying? Yoon already HAS a Scarecrow. Only difference is the tiny crow.

It ought to do something about the Alluring plants. It amazes me that it does not.

Is not really a " Vanity Item " since everyone can afford it , is 212g 50s. No hard way to earn it..

Blizzard has specific methods of trolling their players. This is one of them.

Exhibit A (Tooltip)

"It certainly looks scary to me."

Almost as if they know what it should do, but still don't have it function as such...
